Try Blox. Just installed mine 2 days ago and they're working just fine, for me.

I've got Blox in black and they're fine. I have zero complaints and the bushings are holding up fine.

i bought omni and they didnt line up with my type r sway and the inserts appear rusty already. Don't bother buying those, blox are pretty good for the money though.

Function 7 arms are the best i've seen. the bushings are better than any one's. I have a new set here I'm not using yet. I would be willing to part with them. make me an offer

F7's are urethane, which is going to make your ride rough as hell.
